How to remove MySocialColor (Virus Removal Guide)

Antivirus and Anti-Malware engines detect MySocialColor as a potentially unwanted program (also called a PUP) and adware. MySocialColor is known to obtain access to a computer system and internet browsers that it affects without permission or knowledge from the computer user. MySocialColor adware will generate targeted and pop-up advertisements after it has been contracted.

This adware generates targeted advertisements, meaning that the adware needs to observe user browsing data, such as all browsing activities (information users submit online, internet searches, changes to settings, browsing habits), bookmarks, and browser history to gather enough information to specifically target the internet user based off their habits.

MySocialColor adware primarily bundles with other potentially unwanted programs and possible malicious threats. MySocialColor and the potentially unwanted programs and malware that it bundles with schedule new tasks and change existing system start-up settings in order to run every time Windows starts and remain enabled.

MySocialColor adware is not technically defined as a computer virus but the potentially unwanted program is still a threat or the sign of a serious computer infection or attack. Since MySocialColor is known to download and install alongside third-party malware, malicious files, and additional potentially unwanted programs, including adware like UniDeals, it will most likely be necessary to uninstall multiple programs and remove multiple browser add-ons and extensions to stop all unwanted activities from occurring. Apart from manually eradicating the program and others that it bundles with, malicious files and corrupted setting changes are known to remain undetected to the average computer user. This is why the professional internet security community recommends to use a reputable anti-malware product such as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to remove MySocialColor and malicious files that it may arrive with and protect against future attacks in real-time.

Browser attachments that bundle with MySocialColor have ‘permissions’ set allowing them to perform tasks users may find undesirable. These permissions are listed below.

MySocialColor is usually contracted without user consent or knowledge. It is used to promote free downloadable content from a variety of locations on the web, therefor it bundles with multiple objects. Free downloadable content includes freeware, shareware, torrents, and more.

Users who wish to consciously install freeware may be given the opportunity to accept or decline an offer to install MySocialColor adware and other objects during the installation process; However, the user request to decline the adware from installing is often ignored by the program or presented in a confusing manner and the adware will install anyways.

This program and objects that it bundles with can also be promoted through questionable advertisements. These advertisements are usually dishonest, misleading, and cause the program to automatically download and install once clicked on.
